I have checked with my Ford Repair manual DVD's and have found that the module is called 2 different things depending on what year Excursion you have. I also found that the module is located in 2 different places. If anyone uses this, finds the keypad codes on the 200-2001 module, please do a photo write up of it and submit it as an article!!!
In the 2000-2001, it is called the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) —Generic Electronic/Central Timer (GEM/CTM) and is located behind the fuse panel. You have to dismantle the fuse panel to get to it.
2001 -02 instructions From the Ford DVD's:
The GEM controls a variety of systems: - 4-wheel drive functions
- front and rear interval wiper/washer
- warning chimes
- keyless entry
- interior and exterior lamps
- power windows
- Remove the instrument panel steering column cover.
- Unlock the retainers.
- Remove the instrument panel steering column cover.
3. Disconnect the bulkhead connectors from the instrument panel fuse junction panel. - Loosen the bolts.
4. Disconnect the bulkhead connectors.
5. Position the instrument panel fuse junction panel aside. - Remove the nuts.
- Remove the bolts.
- Remove the generic electronic module/central timer module (GEM/CTM).
- Disconnect the electrical connectors.
- Remove the screws.
- Remove the GEM/CTM.
- To install, reverse the removal procedure.

In 2002 and up, it is located behind the radio in the center of the dash and it is called the Vehicle Security Module (VCM).
